Open FlipTip like a real app
Stop guessing what your items are worth. Before you buy inventory or list something for sale, scan it to see the real-time resale value on OfferUp.
FlipTip AI uses your phone's camera to identify any item. It then analyzes thousands of similar listings on OfferUp and other local marketplaces to estimate a realistic resale price, your potential profit, and how quickly you can expect it to sell.
Price items slightly higher than your target price to leave room for negotiation. Many OfferUp buyers expect to haggle, and this strategy lets them feel like they got a deal while you still hit your profit goal.
For local, in-person cash sales, OfferUp charges zero fees. If you ship an item, OfferUp charges a service fee of 12.9% of the final price, with a minimum fee of $1.99.
Check prices for similar items in your local area on the app first. Price competitively based on your item's condition. Listings with clear photos, detailed descriptions, and fair prices tend to sell the fastest.

Yes, especially for local sales of bulky items like furniture or appliances, because there are no seller fees for in-person transactions. This allows you to keep 100% of the profit, making it a very worthwhile platform for local flipping.
Low offers are common on OfferUp, so don't be discouraged. It's best to respond politely to all messages to keep your response rate high. You can either decline or provide a counter-offer that is closer to your asking price.
